Question

Below is a figure (here called Figure 1) from “Prognostic Significance of CpG Island Methylator Phenotype and Microsatellite Instability in Gastric Carcinoma,” by An et al., published in Clinical Cancer Research in 2005. The authors look at five microsatellite loci (BAT 25, BAT 26, D2S123, D5S346, and D17S250) in normal (N) and tumor (T) tissue from patients with Gastric Carcinoma. They amplify the loci by PCR and then instead of using standard agarose gel electrophoresis, they run the PCR products through capillary gel electrophoresis and detect bands as they pass a laser near the positive charge terminal. The x-axis in these plots is the time at which the band passed the laser (aka size of the PCR product) and the intensity of the peaks represents the amount of DNA in that band A. Which patient- 18, 30, or 1- shows the most microsatellite instability? Which patient shows the least? How do you know? B. In which repair pathway is it most likely that you will find the driver mutations in the patients with microsatellite instability? Explain. Please answers both parts
